Team Canada’s roster includes 10 centers, many of them, Steven Stamkos, Tyler Seguin, Patric Bergeron and Claude Giroux who will slide over to right wing.

If there’s any challenge for the heavy favorite Canadians, it’s finding the best group of 12 forwards.

Corey Perry who scored 34 goals last season, opened Team Canada’s training camp this week as the extra forward.

On the top line, Patrice Bergeron is itched in stone on Sidney Crosby’s right wing. Brad Marchand coming off a 37 goal season got the first look with Crosby on his left wing.

Crosby has often meshed with players who have the type of intangibles that Marchand brings to the table in what should be an ideal fit between the two, especially with Bergeron and Marchand having a lot of chemistry.

The plethora of centers for Team Canada has them planning to play John Tavares on left wing.

None of Team Canada’s right handed forwards play the left side, meaning Team Canada only has five options to play left wing in Marchand, Tavares, Couture, Duchene and Joe Thornton.

Among the right wingers on the opening depth chart, Claude Giroux could be most vulnerable, but Perry’s best chance of being part of Canada’s regular forward group will most likely have to see Canada move Thornton to the wing and bump a Couture or Duchene out of the lineup.
